Seismic Strengthening Effects Based on Pseudodynamic Testing of a Reinforced Concrete Building Retrofitted with a Wire-Woven Bulk Kagome Truss Damper

Table 4

Summary of the test conditions for the cyclic loading and pseudodynamic tests.

Specimens	Test methods	Strengthening types	Clear span of columns (mm)	Earthquake levels for pseudodynamic test (gal)
CL-F	Cyclic loading	—	1250	—
CL-FK	Cyclic loading	Kagome damper	1250	—
PD-F	Pseudodynamic	—	1250	El Centro (NS): 200, 300
PD-FK	Pseudodynamic	Kagome damper	1250	El Centro (NS): 200, 300

CL-F: nonstrengthened control specimen for the cyclic loading test; CL-FK: specimen strengthened with the KDEC system for the cyclic loading test; PD-F: nonstrengthened control specimen for the pseudodynamic test; PD-FK: specimen strengthened with the KDEC system for the pseudodynamic test.
